According to the official Steam schedule, the Summer Sale runs for exactly two weeks. The end time is consistent across regions: 6pm BST for the UK, 10am PT and 1pm ET for the United States, and 7pm CET for European customers. After the sale concludes, the next large-scale discount event will be the Steam Autumn Sale, expected in late October, though smaller themed sales may occur in the interim.
